Somebody Else

Where do you get off?
Saying one is wrong, and one is right
Like there's a big black line between that only you can see
You see both sides
Like it's a big red neon sign
And only you can pull the wool off of our eyes
This must be your stop
I know it's someone else's job
To fix the pieces when you're gone
Oh no,
It's not so easy
(It's not so hard)
It's not so easy
(It's not so hard)
If it was easy, they would've sent somebody else
You're tired of waiting
Almost perfect; just impatient
Wasn't someone supposed to call and make you famous?
Isn't that what fame is?
Who you put yourself beside
In the right place at the right time
Oh no,
It's not so easy
(It's not so hard)
It's not so easy
(It's not so hard)
If it was easy, they would've sent somebody else
They would've sent somebody young
Someone scared
Someone green, under-prepared
Not your highness
High above them
Reigning kind of mass-reduction
It's not so easy
It's not so easy
If it was
If it was
If it was
They would've sent somebody else

More of What I Have

Close your eyes and picture that endless summer
You know the way it was
The way it was when we were younger
I know what you want
Now you're only preaching it to the choir
Pariah
You've been to the end
Let me take it just a little bit higher
Messiah
I just want more of what I have
I just want more of what I have
I'll never get bored of what I have
I just want more
I just want more
We unfold somehow
The dream never changed, we're just older now
The kids seem so strange
They all got love to spare
And they love to share
Any way, any where, any day
They just don't care
I know what you want
Now you're only preaching it to the choir
Pariah
You've been to the end
Let me take it just a little bit higher
Messiah
I just want more of what I have
I just want more of what I have
I'll never get bored of what I have
I just want more
I just want more

Wildfire

It was small, like a feather
Just a few words strung together
but it forces your surrender,
and closes your eyes
The red light is a warning
That we're blissfully ignoring
Outside there's a war on
and she's drawing the blinds
A fire's begun so turn and run,
There's still time if you need it
But you should know
There is no changing your mind once you feel it
If you let it start, it could break your heart
It's a fire you can't contain
You can't contain it
A priceless innovation
is broadcasting your failure
in a rose hue-miliation
The sign of our times
She's a wave of motivation
We just follow where it takes us
We are loved down here, forsaken
And neither wonders why
A fire's begun so turn and run,
There's still time if you need it
But you should know
There is no changing your mind once you feel it
If you let it start, it could break your heart
It's a chance you get to take
If you let it start, it could break your heart
It's a fire you can't contain
You can't contain it

Falling is Easy

Gimme that pure, uncut, revenge fantasy
100% triple-A-merican misery
I mean my first love in a Dixie Cup
with a cold heart, I can mix it up
It's twice what I once was
and half what I used to be
(oh oh oh...)
Where else can I start, when the best is behind me?
Climbing up is so hard, and falling is easy
Not from concentrate, just from pure instinct
Never frozen in one place, misunderstood, or indistinct
Maybe the background fades but the details get more in-sync
It's twice what I once believed
and half what I used to think
(oh oh oh...)
Where else can I start, when the best is behind me?
Climbing up is so hard, and falling is easy
Tell me that backwards is a bad word, but the best is behind me
Climbing up is so hard, and falling is easy
Falling is easy
